for something other than a detached single family residence or associated building and exceeded

the scope and prescribed dollar limit that would otherwise have enabled a building owner to
perform the work.

dwellings and a residential addition.

Bruce Brown, d/b/a CJR Construction, LLC
Appellant was seeking approval of a Class Dl license with the City of Fort Collins; however, staff was
unable to approve the license requested since the appellant violated the licensing ordinance by working
without a permit and/or a license. According to the ordinance, when known violations have occurred, the
violator (appellant) must appear before the Board for determination on the appellant's fitness to be
granted a license prior to one being granted.
According to the appellant, he and his business partner, Cynthia Reffler, had been working towards
obtaining a Class. DI license since their business was started in 2002. They bad completed numerous
projects in Weld and Larimer Counties and have 15+ years of building experience between them, The
appellant's project experience, as well as the alleged violations, were discussed The general feeling of .
the Board was that the violations were a result of some confusion with regard to licensing and permitting
requirements and that the appellant should be granted a license.
Jones made a motion to approve the appellant's inquest for a D i license. Little seconded the motion.
